Football pundits Joe Cole and Peter Crouch express their frustration with VAR after key decisions in the match between Leicester City and Chelsea at the King Power Stadium. Chelsea are currently leading 1-0 at half-time, thanks to a goal from Nicolas Jackson. The TNT Sports commentators believe Leicester should have been reduced to ten men after a dangerous tackle from Wilfred Ndidi, but VAR chose not to intervene. Cole and Crouch argue that the tackle could have seriously injured Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
As Chelsea's young midfielder Cole Palmer's stock continues to soar, head coach Enzo Maresca recognizes the need for Palmer to adapt to being man-marked by opposing teams. Despite the increased attention on him, Palmer has maintained his consistency and is still proving to be a crucial player for the Blues, with 6 goals and 5 assists in just eight games this season. But with a strong supporting cast around him, including the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku, and Jadon Sancho, opportunities are also being created for his teammates to shine.
Chelsea star forward, Cole Palmer, expresses his anticipation to reunite with manager Enzo Maresca and fellow new signings, Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez. Despite initial doubts over his hefty price tag and limited appearances under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, Palmer had a phenomenal debut season with Chelsea, recording 22 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League and earning him the title of Chelsea's Player of the Season. With a spot in the Euro 2020 semi-finals up for grabs, there is a growing demand for Palmer to join the starting line-up for England's match against Switzerland this weekend. Managerial changes at Chelsea have not hindered Palmer's excitement, as he previously worked with Maresca at Manchester City's Under-21 squad.
Despite a breakout season with Chelsea, Cole Palmer is once again on the bench for England’s crucial UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinal match against Slovakia. Fans and critics question why the 22-year-old midfielder is not starting, but manager Gareth Southgate has opted for other players in his tactical setup. Palmer has only played for a total of 19 minutes in the tournament so far, raising concerns about his role in the team.
Despite facing criticism for his decision to play Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield, England coach Gareth Southgate made minimal changes for their match against Slovenia, only swapping in Chelsea's Conor Gallagher. However, fans were quick to point out that the team appeared to be playing in a different formation, with some suggesting it was a 4-1-4-1 rather than the expected 4-2-3-1. With England struggling to score in both Euro 2024 qualifiers, some fans believe that the absence of top scorer Cole Palmer is a major factor in their mediocre performance.
Fans were disappointed after England settled for a 1-1 draw with Denmark despite taking an early lead. The mood was not helped by an awkward exchange between Manchester City's Cole Palmer and coach Gareth Southgate, with fans noticing the lack of playing time for the young player.
